Tonight, for the first time in a long while, I wanted off this planet. I wanted away from the people who inhabit it. Not everyone, of course, but it only takes one evil person’s success to convince me that they, the wrong, will eventually destroy everything that is good.

This is a place where someone can suffer an indescribable injustice, and then proceed to commit the same injustice on another without so much as batting an eyelash. This is a place where people can be lied to, cheated on, and stolen from, and where those same victims will lie, cheat, and steal under the guise of their own self-deception and justifications, yet still scorn their perpetrators for what they did to them.

I’ve been robbed, and the thief doesn’t care what anyone thinks of him, because to him the ends justify the means. I’ve been cheated, and the cheater is happy with her ill-gotten gains. Her ends justify her means. Evidently, the trick to innocence is not to abstain from crime, but rather to believe that anything you do for something you believe is “good”, regardless of your chosen methods, can never be wrong. Am I right?

This is how some people think. This is how some people live with themselves. This is why I want off.

    Welcome to the real world, the only way to get around it is to live a sheltered life and not experience everything.

    I’m beginning to wish I’d stuck to that plan. Heh.

    Some people are so vile, and yet so blissfully ignorant of what they are. I guess all it takes to wake up with a smile as a shitty human being is to never, ever, practice any empathy.

    all you can do is have good morals, and pass those on to the next generation cause your not going to wake up one day and find the world is fixed…..

    I wouldn’t think of it as being robbed. You’ve been educated these past couple weeks. You’ve learned things about that which you’ve lost… and honestly, I can’t imagine you wanting it anymore. So really, what kind of thief is one that steals something nobody would want? He doesn’t know what he’s gotten himself into… and I can guarantee that he’s been manipulated somehow. God knows, if he knew the truth (the complete truth) then he’d never have gotten into this… it’ll no doubt end in a huge mess once he’s discovered the same reality that you’ve just been shown.

    But yeah, there are and will always be good people… knowing that, and remembering that, just gives you something good to look forward to. You’ll find that some people are real… with you, with themselves. But hey, people who can’t be real with themselves can’t be expected to be real and honest with others — even if those others cared about them. If anything, I’d wish THEM off this earth. Then we’d be free to tour this place without all the vermin.

    Oh I don’t want it anymore. All of it just reminds me why I didn’t want it ten months ago, and if I’d had any idea it could even potentially turn out like this, I’d have broken it off despite her threats. I loved a lie.

    My point with this post is that people are capable of doing things like this to others because they distance themselves from the ones they hurt. He didn’t count me as a friend, so putting me through hell was easy for him. She didn’t give a fuck either, because she convinced herself that it was all my fault. Lies and weak logic.

    Vermin indeed.

    haha, i feel like this everytime i watch a 9/11 video. everytime i hear a new drug being introduced. everytime i hear of a new suicide bomber killed half a douzen +. everytime i read the news. everytime a baby cries. i feel like this, always. then, then i realize how much bigger the world is compared to me, and i breathe life in. i come to the realization that yes, one person ( maybe me) can start a revolution. i do good things for myself, my friends, my community. all we can do is live for today. plus, living a few feet from the ocean is a help. breathe in the salty sea air. collapse on the sandy beach and watch the moon rise and the stars glow. realize…life..life is so much bigger then everything.
